Chick Lit Novels into Film

From the 1996 publication of Bridget Jones’s Diary that started the chick lit trend to the television sensation Sex and the City (based on the 2001 book by Candace Bushnell) that captured it on screen, chick lit has become a major pop culture phenomenon. One of most striking features of chick lit novels, is how often they are made into moves or TV series.

JoAnna Barrett's new novel, Men’s Guide to the Women’s Bathroom, has been generating a huge amount of buzz- not least because actor Hugh Jackman will produce the movie. Mr.Jackman has been quoted as saying, "It's a great read and a great laugh - and now we guys know what's really going on in there." Ms Barrett will be discussing and reading from her book Wednesday, May 23, at 7:00 on the 2nd floor of the downtown Faulk Central Library.

Looking at the Library's Chick Lit reading list, I found several other chick lit titles that will be on the screen soon: Bergdorf Blondes , The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing, Good in Bed , Sammy’s Hill, and one of the biggest chick-lit books,
The Nanny Diaries.
